Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair

Mass Airflow Sensor/Intake Air Temperature Sensor Replacement

Removal Procedure

Notice:
* Handle the MAF sensor carefully.
* Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF sensor.
* Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet end of the MAF.
* Do not touch the sensing elements.
* Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the sensing elements.
* Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in the installation.






1. Remove the intake manifold cover. Refer to Intake Manifold Cover Replacement (Service and Repair).
2. Disconnect the engine harness electrical connector from the mass air flow/intake air temperature (MAF/IAT) sensor.




3. Loosen the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the throttle body.




4. Loosen the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the MAF/IAT sensor.
5. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct.




6. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor bolts.
7. Remove the MAF/IAT sensor.


Installation Procedure

Notice:
* Handle the MAF sensor carefully.
* Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF sensor.
* Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet end of the MAF.
* Do not touch the sensing elements.
* Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the sensing elements.
* Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in the installation.






1. Install the MAF/IAT sensor.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice (Fastener Notice).

2. Install the MAF/IAT sensor bolts.

Tighten the bolts to 4 N.m (35 lb in).




3. Install the air cleaner outlet duct.
4. Tighten the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the MAF/IAT sensor.

Tighten the clamp to 4 N.m (35 lb in).




5. Tighten the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the throttle body.

Tighten the clamp to 4 N.m (35 lb in).




6. Connect the engine harness electrical connector to the MAF/IAT sensor.
7. Install the intake manifold cover. Refer to Intake Manifold Cover Replacement (Service and Repair).
